"Let's work together to be leaders in the Passive Home movement and leave a in the Georgian Triangle community."

Meet the CedarValley Passive Homes duo

It all started when Koko and Robert Saardecided to sell their previous company,
move out of the rat race, buy some land,
and follow their dream of building their own home in the Wasaga Beach area.

When a relative heard of their plans, she sent them a link about Passive House. Koko and Robert had the same question most people do: "What is Passive House?"

Koko and Robert have spent three years researching Passive House, designing and redesigning house drawings, and planning the future of CedarValley Passive Homes. Most importantly, they want to make building Passive Homes EASY for others!

CedarValley Passive Homes is the first company in Wasaga Beach to build Passive House homes.

After doing extensive research and attending Passive House tours and conferences, Koko and Robert developed specific goals: to educate the public (and their friends!) about the futuristic concept of Passive House, to be the first Georgian Triangle Passive House builders, and to make it easy for clients to create their own Passive Homes.

Koko and Robert have hired Angie and Abby Xerri from Quantum Passivhaus, who have built Passive Homes in other jurisdictions, to share their knowledge in execution and everything Passive House. Chip Robinson, finance and leadership mentor and partner at Quantum Passivhaus, has also provided invaluable expertise in developing this forward-thinking company.

Being the trailblazers in an established market has its own challenges. After going through growing pains such as design, cost analysis, and communications with the township building department, they’ve mastered the needs and requirements to build a Passive Home. Koko and Robert’s goal of eradicating your headaches have become a reality. They wish to uncomplicate and demystify the process of building your own Passive Home.

To meet the goal of education, there will be informational sessions available at each open house during the construction phases of building. Seeing is believing. Allowing the public to see the simple, yet effective, elements that are part of Passive House construction helps ease the decision-making process about the type of home to build.

There will also be constant educational updates and links provided on this website. Sign up to receive news about upcoming open houses and further information.
